Default Majestic Aquatics Nuevo CA ripping people off

I didn't see where to post this warning. If it is in the wrong place maybe the mods can move it please. Thought it urgent to warn everyone I can.
They have been ripping lots of people off lately. Myself one of them. I have filled with paypal. Here is their latest feedback on ebay within the last 2 weeks or so, one right after the other.

BEWARE! Scam artist. I paid and have been given runaround. Filed with paypal.

If anyone on this site has problems with them, let me know. I know the owner pretty well from another forum I mod at. He recently took the business over from his ill/aging father, and has been trying to play catch-up.

What? You know the owner of Majestic Aquatics in Nuevo CA? The people I have been dealing with is Brad and Teresa Disney. I have recieved emails saying they shipped my corals out but they wouldn't provide a tracking #. As of today, no coral has come. I have all the emails saved as I have to provide them to paypal. Here is the link to their feedback. I find it hard to believe they are trying to 'catch things up' when they outright lie, take peoples money and send nothing in return and dodge refunds.
eBay My World - majesticaquatic
Take a look for yourself and tell me they are anything but dishonest. Maybe you are talking about someone else.
Here is the last email I got 3 days ago and have not recieved a tracking # or package. I emailed them and told them I was filing complaint with paypal and they have never responded.
This is not the first but third time they said they had shipped the coral.

Hello The Item was shipped.
How ever Teresa has the Tracking and she is not here. She will be in the Morning though.

I will send it then.
Thank you.
Brad.

That's OK. I want no communication with him at this point. Myself and about half dozen others that got ripped have already filed with paypal against him and filed a report with the Internet crime complaint center. Not that anything will come of that, but it is a place you can report Internet rippoffs to the FBI. http://www.ic3.gov/ I think paypal does it anyway, but thought it would be good to add a second complaint.
If Brad had been having problems or something and tiold us that there would be a delay or tryed to work something out I and I am sure some of the others would have probably given some slack, but to outright lie over and over...just won't cut it. And he was selling the same corals over and over. There is no excuse. He and Teresa are just plain theives.

Pink Lady is doing something  right


 
Default

Pink Lady here...I too was almost successfully scammed by Brad Disney of Majestic Aquatics. I wasn't given the opportunity to utilize Paypal he requested a money order or personal check. Of course he didn't send the fish and if this wheel hadn't squeaked a lot, I probably would still be out my $$. I couldn't believe it when I actually received my refund today 15 Aug. 2008, after dealing with him since June. I have learned my lesson, but he still has websites under Majestic Aquatic and Bradley Aquatics to this day.
